Your spelling needs work. :blink:
I learned a long time ago that once you use a thesaurus, you should check the definitions of the word, or words, found in your thesaural reading with a dictionary. This step helps you determine whether or not the selected synonym(s) will convey the meaning you are trying to communicate.
Is a stomer a stormer? We wonderz, we does, me Precious.
I chortle as I say this, but was it a lunger or a Lounger? :) Last time I checked, a lunger was, among other things, slang for a big green goop of stuff you hack up when you have a bad cold or influenza. (Yes, I know what a lunger would be, one who lunges, just having a bit of fun here.)
A Stampeder or a setmpede? Or even a centipede?
And last but not least, was it a Bolter or a Boltee! Or even a Bolty! B)
